Chapter 719 Rogue Tactics
The next day, at noon. .
On a hill, in a tall basket.
Cao Wenzhao and Shang Tong stood together, and the telescope in his hand was not let go, observing every move on the sea.
Both of them were very patient. Cao Wenzhao was not arrogant or impatient, and Shang Tong was patient.
In the telescope, some black dots gradually appeared, slowly, slowly, more and more, gathered together and drove in their direction.
Shang Tong was very nervous and put down his telescope in a little hurriedly, saying to Cao Wenzhao, "General, the people from the Satsuma clan are here!"
Cao Wenzhao's expression remained unchanged, and the telescope was turned around and it took a while to say: "They reported correctly. There should be no 10,000 people in the Satsuma vassal state. It seems that they are really mixed and should have no combat power..."
Shang Tong's expression moved and said stiffly: "What the General is saying." No matter how unbearable the army is, it is stronger than their Liuqiu.
After a while, Shang Tong couldn't help but said, "General, I'll go down now and command myself to prevent mistakes!"
Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly and said nothing.
Seeing this, Shang Tong hung from the big basket and hurried to the port where the Satsuma family was about to land, where he had already set up an ambush there.
Cao Wenzhao observed for a while, couldn't help but frown and whispered to himself: "Strange, why do these Japanese people have no cannons, and their ships are relatively small?"
Cao Wenzhao also stayed in the Military Academy and received the course of "firearms". He knew the theoretical connection between firearms "cannons" and "guns". In theory, it is not difficult to make guns and cast cannons. Moreover, the cannons are more powerful and have greater effects, so there is no reason not to use them. Not only this time, the Satsuma family did not use cannons last time.
The Satsuma clan fleet was getting closer and closer, and under the telescope, it was almost in his eyes. Cao Wenzhao searched for a long time but couldn't see a single cannon.
"Interesting..." Cao Wenzhao said to himself. This way, things became even simpler.
Shang Tong soon arrived not far from the port, where he set up two thousand "ambushers" and hid in the mountains and forests several miles away, closely watching the direction of the port.
The fleet led by Kasumiya Kasumiya and Hirata Masato were less than five miles away from the port. The ship slowed down and everyone looked at the direction of Shuri Castle, with their eyes burning, anxious and ready to move.
They were so eager that once they got ashore, there would be everything, silver, gold, treasures, women, and heads!
Kasumiya Kasumiya and Hirata Masato stood on the front boat, looking at the empty and quietly landing on the shore port, looking at each other.
"Zenzong, what do you think? It seems that there has been cleared. We are specially welcomed?" Huashanjiu looked at the place where he had landed before and said expressionlessly.
When Hirata Zengzong heard this title, his eyelids twitched and said calmly: "Leave the order!"
Huashan Jiushou's lips curled slightly, his expression was gloomy, and he said, "Liu. Qiu tried to resist me, Satsuma, and he must punish him heavily! But we don't land here, we will send an order to continue going south, we will land at the next ferry!"
Hirata Zengzong didn't say anything, but turned around and sent a command. The moment he turned around, his eyes flashed with a fierce look.
The fleet that Huashan had been guarding for a long time suddenly turned, catching Shang Tong, who was lying in ambush, off guard.
In the dense forest, Shang Tong's deputy general said in surprise, "Sir, what should we do? Satsuma has changed to another place to land."
Shang Tong frowned. The plan that he had prepared for so long was useless. He was extremely unwilling to accept it, but he was helpless. He pondered for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go back to General Liu, there is no need to leave here."
"yes!"
Shang Tong led two thousand people out of the dense forest and quickly marched towards the pass they had pre-set.
Not long after they left, the Satsuma fleet, which was about to continue south, suddenly made an arc and went back.
"Haha, stupid Liu. Qiuren, can you deceive me, Huashan Jiushou?" On the bow of the boat, Huashan Jiushou laughed endlessly, and was extremely happy.
Hirata Zisen didn't say anything, and stood quietly behind him.
Huashan's laughter stopped abruptly, and he waved his hand suddenly and shouted "Attack!"
"attack!"
His voice spread throughout the ships, quickly forming a sentence, surging on the sea, rushing towards the shore like a wave.
Shang Tong had already discovered that he had been deceived, and his face was full of hatred showed a grim look, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to go!"
Shang Tong led the two of them and walked quickly towards the ambush point.
They soon joined Liu Wentian in a narrow and curved "mountain".
This is a "slit" in the endless mountains. At most, five carriages are allowed to be parallel, several bent, narrow and difficult to move, so there is a name: chicken intestine.
Shang Tong's face turned pale and looked at Liu Wentian and said, "General Liu, the Samoans are too cunning!"
Liu Wentian already knew it, and held back his smile and said without moving: "General Shang, don't worry, this is the place for the decisive battle."
Shang Tong had no choice but to arrange all his men according to the previous arrangements. Now that he has lost the part that he tempted, he is very worried that the Satsuma people will see what they will see.
Liu Wentian didn't have this worry anymore. Shang Tong's "ambattalion" was a waste of time. Now he was tempted by someone to withdraw his troops. Although it seemed a bit "stupid", it did play some role and would make the Samoans come here even more boldly, although the Samoans would come no matter what.
Kasumi Kasumiya and Hirata Zengzong got on the shore smoothly. He directly ordered: "Zengzong, I will give you a thousand people, and you will take Shuri as the pioneer!"
Hirata Zengzong was extremely reluctant, but ordered Rushan, but he bowed and said, "Ha!"
With a Satsuma gun hanging on his shoulders and two knives praising him around his waist, he walked forward with his men and horses.
Huashan Kusuo looked at his back, snorted coldly, purged the team, pressed behind, and slowly moved forward.
Because of Shang Tong's ambush, Hirata Zengzong walked very slowly. He held a knife in his left hand and observed everywhere. The warriors behind him were holding guns and were extremely alert.
The Satsuma gun was modified from the fuse rope because it was designed to match the Japanese's short figure and was designed with a very small size. These samurai were all arched and cautious.
On a small hill not far from the chicken intestine, Shang Tong held a telescope in his hand. Seeing Hirata Zengzong's turtle speed, he said to Liu Wentian awkwardly: "General Liu, I'm so sorry, I broke the plan!"
Liu Wentian did not put down the telescope in his hand and said directly: "General Shang doesn't have to care. Whether there is your ambush or not, the Samoans will come. The more cautious they are, the greater our success rate will be."
Shang Tong was a little puzzled. Before he could ask again, Liu Wentian said, "How much do you know about the bird guns in their hands?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Tong hurriedly said, "General Liu, that's the Samo gun, which can shoot people seventy feet away. Within fifteen feet, you can hit every shot."
"Is the shooting speed fast?" Liu Wentian asked immediately.
Shang Tong was stunned and slowly recalled: "It seems that it is not fast. After they fired once, it will take a long time to fire the second shot. If there are only one thousand people, they can contact the shooting, which is one hundred people and one hundred people."
Liu Wentian understood that this was the same as the troubles encountered by the Military Weapon Bureau, which was slow to change bullets. However, according to Shang Tong, the muskets of the Satsuma clan should be far inferior to the Ming Dynasty. After all, as far as he knew, the range of the Breaking Gun designed by the Military Weapon Bureau could reach more than one hundred feet, and the effective shooting was also fifty feet away.
In the telescope, Hirata Zengzong had already arrived not far from the position, and Liu Wentian frowned when he saw it.
This leader was extremely cunning. These musketeers were divided into several parts, and the distance was lengthened and they did not gather together. In other words, it was extremely difficult to charge even at close range, unless they were desperate and they paid several times the price to strangle.
But this is just a pioneer, and there are thousands of people behind it!
After thinking about it, Liu Wentian put down his telescope and turned to Shang Tong and said, "General Shang, you command the soldiers in the tunnel to retreat to the second tunnel."
Shang Tong was stunned and said, "Why? General Liu, being cowardly before fighting is a taboo in military tactics!"
Liu Wentian had no intention of explaining to Shang Tong and said directly: "Retreat first and lure the enemy behind him in."
Shang Tong nodded quickly and said, "Yes!" After saying that, he hurried down the mountain and rushed to the front position.
Liu Wentian watched Hirata Zengzong approach slowly, looked up at the distance, but suddenly he could not see the large army behind him!
Liu Wentian thoughtfully and said, "Ask where the people behind him have gone?"
"Yes!" The flag soldiers behind him waved towards the big basket in the sky, and there was also a man looking at the big basket in the sky with a telescope.
Not long after, the soldier holding the telescope said, "Sir, those people are hidden not far from their landing."
Liu Wentian blinked and said in surprise, "Yes, I remembered that he had a tactic of war, which was to let the musketeers lie in an ambush and then lure the enemy over and ambush them. It was really a rogue tactic."
The guards behind him didn't speak because their current tactics were almost the same.
Liu Wentian looked at the empty back of Hirata Zengzong, and had a headache.
If they quickly eat the people in front of them, they will alarm the back, which is not easy to deal with; if they pretend to be defeated, they will not be able to lure the enemy because they are also ambushing them.
Liu Wentian had a headache. On another mountain, Lai Daosheng, who was commanding the cannon formation, was also angry.
The fierce war he was looking forward to has now become this way. He still has to hide in the woods, and he can't even show his face.
Not far away from them, in the large basket above, Cao Wenzhao also took all this.
He couldn't guess whether the other party had any masters or whether he saw through his plan. He pondered and said, "Tell Shang Tong to resist in the second position, and must form a tug-of-war, 'almost defeated'! If Shang Tong couldn't stop it, Liu Wentian would disguise himself as a disguise."
"Yes!" The flag soldiers beside him turned around and sent orders to the big basket in the distance.
Flag words are themselves a code that spreads rapidly in the air and on the ground.
After hearing the translation, Liu Wentian's eyes lit up and said, "It's still wise, go and go down the mountain!"
At this time, Hirata Zengzong arrived in front of the first position. He looked at the wooden fence on the ground and the tunnels dug behind him, with a strange look.
